This charming photograph captures two children sitting on a traditional wooden cart pulled by a donkey, a common sight in Xlendi’s past. In the background, a classic red UK telephone box is visible, marking a location where the Xlendi Police Station now stands. This image reflects the simplicity and slower pace of life that once characterised Xlendi, long before modern developments transformed the village into a bustling tourist hub. It offers a nostalgic view of a bygone era, blending rural traditions with subtle hints of British influence on the Maltese Islands.
